EXPRESSION OF CONCERN: Overlapping and Distinct Role of CXCR7-SDF-1/ITAC and CXCR4-SDF-1 Axes in Regulating Metastatic Behavior of Human Rhabdomyosarcomas.
Article in International journal of cancer, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
expression of concernK. Grymula, M. Tarnowski, M. Wysoczynski, J. Drukala, F. G. Barr, J. Ratajczak, M. Kucia, and M. Z. Ratajczak, "Overlapping and Distinct Role of CXCR7-SDF-1/ITAC and CXCR4-SDF-1 Axes in Regulating Metastatic Behavior of Human Rhabdomyosarcomas," International Journal of Cancer 127, no. 11 (2010): 2554-2568, https://doi.org/10.1002/ijc.25245. This Expression of Concern is for the above article, published online on 16 February 2010 and available in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), and has been published by agreement between the journal Editor-in-Chief, Prof. Christoph Plass; the Union for International Cancer Control; and John Wiley & Sons Ltd. The Expression of Concern was agreed due to concerns raised by a third party after publication regarding the similarity of certain blots in Figures 1c & 1d and the underlying data that they represent. This affects the two T-MAPK 42/44 panels in the c) CW9019 ARMS and d) RD EMRS cell lines. The corresponding author, M. Z. Ratajczak, confirmed the similarity of the two panels in Figure 1 but could not provide the original data given the time that had elapsed. An investigation by the University of Louisville concluded that falsification of the data was likely. However, this could not be confirmed due to the lack of original data. The journal has decided to issue this Expression of Concern to alert the readers to these unresolved concerns regarding the integrity of the data and the results presented. The authors M. Z. Ratajczak, M. Wysoczynski, and F. G. Barr agree to this Expression of Concern. K. Grymula, M. Tarnowski, J. Drukala, J. Ratajczak, and M. Kucia were not reachable.
